Hillary Clinton: Khattala Was Very Much On Our Minds Since The Night Of The Attack In 2012

posted at 7:56 pm on June 17, 2014 by Duane Patterson

The former Secretary of State upstaged her interview on Fox News with Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren by showing up on the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire , I mean, the CNN town hall set with Christiane Amanpour. The only thing missing was the warm-up comedian and the applause signs. But the first question asked was Madame Secretary’s reaction to the capture of long-known Benghazi terrorist, Ahmed Abu Khattalah. Here’s the video. Go to 1:30 in.

Excuse me? This guy was on our minds from the night of the attack? He certainly wasn’t on Jay Carney’s mind for the next month and a half. Khattala wasn’t on the mind of the President. He wasn’t on the mind of Susan Rice. If you look at the entire video record of the Obama administration from 9/11/12 forward, this statement by Hillary Clinton is objectively untrue.

If you want to be charitable and let her redefine history, Khattali may have been on their minds, but the detainment of the YouTube videographer was on their lips.

Bill Clinton used to lie with an unusally-gifted ability. Hillary Clinton wages the same war on truth every day, but not with the same panache.

I don’t think Hillary is really serious about running for president, otherwise she wouldn’t be doing interviews left and right where she is bound to say a bunch of stupid things. I think she is first and foremost interested in selling her book, so she won’t be so broke.

Hillary is full of it. She was all video, all the time, and this clown wasn’t on her mind at all. If she thought at all about Benghazi she thought only tactically about how the events were affecting her election prospects. Even her most partisan supporters would say this, I don’t doubt.

Good grief, I forced myself to listen to that love fest for the “wide-eyed” ingenue by her sycophantic audience. Does she have to flap her hands around so much?

Hillary Clinton seems to imply that “events in Cairo” led to the Benghazi massacre. She also thinks that the current alleged suspect should be tried in our courts. The Dems continue to think that acts of terrorism are issues to be tackled by our justice system.
